Chapter 788: If Your Brain Doesn’t Work Well, Don’t Force It
Mu Qiqi did not think it was a big deal. It was only for an afternoon anyway. In the future, even if the dean threw a fit, she would not agree to partic.i.p.ate in any faculty activities any more.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, all activities for the trip came to an end. Sheng Xiao called Mu Qiqi to ask about the time and asked his secretary to arrange things. The two of them went to the resort next door together.
A moment later, Sheng Xiao’s car stopped by. When the dean saw it, he quickly went up to him and asked, “President Sheng, are you here to pick up Qiqi?”
“There’s something else,” Sheng Xiao looked in Mu Qiqi’s direction and answered.
When everyone saw Sheng Xiao appear, the girls looked at each other. They thought that their call had worked and that Sheng Xiao was here to confront Mu Qiqi, so they could not help feeling smug.
Mu Qiqi was going to be in big trouble.
“Dean, the girls in the forensic faculty seem to have a lot of time on their hands.”
“Why do you say that, CEO Sheng?” The dean was a little confused. Although he had heard some rumors, such things were very common at universities, so they did not attract his attention.
“Someone even called Zhongteng’s secretarial office,” Sheng Xiao said rather mysteriously. “Dean, you might not know this, but I was in the hotel next door last night, so I called Qi’er over. Qi’er didn’t alert anyone, but she was misunderstood as someone having an affair with a male cla.s.smate, and that they went on a late-night date.”
After hearing Sheng Xiao’s words, the dean’s face changed.
“This…”
“It’s not your fault, Dean. After all, the school is only responsible for teaching and educating people. IQ is not something you can control.”
Sheng Xiao lowered his head and smiled.
The dean felt extremely embarra.s.sed. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, these people were all university students. Why were they behaving like children playing house? Did they not know what matters they should be paying attention to and what not to?
“They are all children and do not know what is important and what is not. Please bear with me, President Sheng.”
Sheng Xiao turned around and glanced at his secretary, who immediately gave to the dean the name of the caller.
“Of course I don’t want any trouble with you, but since the caller reached out to Zhongteng, rumors are bound to be spread about Qi’er when they get back to school. Don’t you think so, Dean?”
“I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry, President Sheng.” The dean sighed, the embarra.s.sment not diminis.h.i.+ng.
Then, the dean returned to the venue and called out to the caller to teach her a lesson. “Zhong Huishan, how can you spread false rumors and slander a cla.s.smate?”
“Dean, what do you mean slander? Mu Qiqi didn’t abide by the rules and went out in the middle of the night to have a private meeting with a boy.”
“How can you be sure that Mu Qiqi went out to have a private meeting with a boy? Did you see it? Did anyone see it?” The dean was so angry that his face turned red. “You’re an adult, not a child. Before you do anything, don’t you consider the consequences? Just because of your own subjective a.s.sumption, you casually denigrate the reputation of your cla.s.smates. Do you know how much harm and trouble you bring to others?”
“I’m not the only one who thinks so. Everyone thinks so. If you don’t believe me, you can ask anyone.” Zhong Huishan pointed at the female students who were exercising not far away and said, “If Mu Qiqi had behaved herself, she wouldn’t be the center of discussion.”
“Enough. Go back.” The dean felt a headache coming. It seemed like he had to find an opportunity to clarify things with everyone.
Zhong Huishan was aggrieved. When she returned to her cla.s.smates, she cried out, “It was clearly Mu Qiqi’s fault, yet the dean reprimanded me instead!”
“What happened?” The cla.s.smate beside her asked.
“Mu Qiqi went out to look for a man in the middle of the night.” Zhong Huishan looked at Mu Qiqi hatefully. “B*tch! It’s clearly indecent behavior.”
“Keep your voice down.”
“Why should I keep my voice down? I must be loud. Mu Qiqi, tell everyone yourself, where did you go last night?”
The matter suddenly escalated. Zhong Huishan was trying to make things difficult for Mu Qiqi. “You didn’t sleep in your room last night. Your roommate must know very well. Mu Qiqi, why don’t you tell us what you went out to do last night?”
Mu Qiqi turned around and straightened her back. She looked at Zhong Huishan with a pitiful expression and answered casually, “I went to look for a man. Why?”
“Look, she admitted it herself. She wasn’t in her room last night to look for a man. I didn’t wrong her!” Zhong Huishan said excitedly.
Everyone looked at Mu Qiqi in surprise.
Sheng Xiao was still not too far away. Was she tired of living?
She had really gone to find a man for a private meeting. How shameless!
However, Mu Qiqi laughed. She was so angry that she laughed. She pointed at Sheng Xiao and continued, “My husband was in the hotel next door. I went to have dinner with him and sleep with him. Did I have to report to you?”
Everyone was silent for a few seconds before they understood what Mu Qiqi meant.
So, Mu Qiqi did not sleep in her room last night and only came back before dawn because she went to look for Sheng Xiao?
“If there are still people who don’t believe me, you can go over and ask who I, Mu Qiqi, was with last night!”
The group of people appeared to have woken up from a dream. They instantly turned red because they knew that the misunderstanding had blown up in their faces.
“If your brain doesn’t work well, don’t force it. You dare to spread rumors without any proof. Is Zhongteng’s lawyer’s letter such a treasure that you want to keep one? Alright then, I’ll fulfill your wis.h.!.+”
Zhong Huishan’s arrogance dissipated the moment Mu Qiqi revealed the truth because she was embarra.s.sed.
Therefore, she could not say a word in the face of Mu Qiqi’s domineering att.i.tude. She could only keep looking elsewhere, and even wanted to find a hole to bury herself in.
Sheng Xiao, who was not far away, guessed that things had gotten out of hand, so he signaled his secretary to go and deliver the gifts.
The secretary walked briskly to the crowd and said, “I’m CEO Sheng’s secretary. May I ask who’s Miss Zhong?”
Zhong Huishan immediately froze. When she called, she had left her contact information. However, there were so many people present and she was the only one with the surname Zhong. She could not deny it. “It’s… It’s me.”
“Thank you for calling Zhongteng in the afternoon. President Sheng has sent you a gift.” With that, the secretary took out a lawyer’s letter from her purse and handed it to Zhong Huishan. “I seem to have forgotten to mention that although I’m a secretary, I am also a lawyer, with a law firm.”
Zhong Huishan immediately collapsed to the ground after taking the ‘gift’.
“No, this is a misunderstanding. I just misunderstood Qqi. However, I’m not the only one involved in this matter… There are others who want to take revenge on Qiqi.”
Mu Qiqi couldn’t be bothered to watch this scene.
The university was such a sacred place for education. Why did people always like to play tricks here?
“Qiqi, help me. I don’t want to get embroiled in a lawsuit. I really just misunderstood you. I apologize. Please, help me plead in front of President Sheng.” Zhong Huishan saw that no one else dared to come out and admit it. She could only hug Mu Qiqi’s legs.
